Jackalwolf Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hey gents, Just writing to check if the changes in the aod army list have made any of you rethink what would be the best loadout for a Jetbike command squad to support a Praetor with Paragon Blade, master crafted weapon, digital lasers and melta Bombs in a Jetbike too. My Legion is the IIIrd. Currently I have already the squad done and painted as a sky hunter squad, but the arms are magnetised to change the squad sergeant to a standard and the other two into arms with one of the special weapons. My question is what do you think would work best for the weapons of the squad. I have all the bits ready to make them sport charnabal sabres or power axes since I just bought the kickass red scorpions command squad axes that have the logo of the Emperor's Children. This is how they currently look since aesthetic in how they look will play a major role in the decision. http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20III/529bd3f9-ceb9-4f66-b6d1-9eb4c2cf0d02_zpshoekvgfc.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/Legio%20III/fd59f2b8-2aca-4475-bdfd-a3a29b26860a_zps2yl5j7vu.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326373-jetbike-command-squad-loadout/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Personally, I think Jetbike command is a bit of a trap, as you are already paying for a 2+ save when you have one. But there is some nice loudouts, combat Shields are a must. I think Sabres with a fist is very cool, maybe one sword just to fluff the combat resolution. Preator will be doing the real heavy lifting. Also, beautiful models! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326373-jetbike-command-squad-loadout/#findComment-4517363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I love those except for the primer-white "flames". Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326373-jetbike-command-squad-loadout/#findComment-4517391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalwolf Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Thanks guys, To be honest I've always been 50-50 on the flame motif. The idea was I wanted to play an homage to my old high elves army by doing the Phoenix Legion and use the white flame of Asuryan as a motif throughout the force vehicles, but I was never sure if to make the flame pure white (since the EC use white lacquer as a sign of respect and if I don't recall the asuryan shrine flame was white), some kind of white combination with blue, realistic orange flame or just golden. I'd appreciate suggestions since these are the only vehicles I've painted yet and I'm about to do a storm Eagle.

Terminus Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I like the splash of white, so maybe start small like adding a gold trim to the flames just to give them more definition? Then you can start thinking stencils. http://www.fallouthobbies.com/stencils/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326373-jetbike-command-squad-loadout/#findComment-4517497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalwolf Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Heh yes I used fallout hobbies for the flame stencils and just purchased a custom stencil with filigree for bigger vehicles.
